Wallander: The Revenge
An old-fashioned, taut, well-crafted thriller-complete with several wonderful twists.
Wallander: The Revenge
From the producers of the original The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, WALLANDER: THE REVENGE is based on an original story by "the godfather of Swedish crime fiction," Henning Mankell, featuring his most popular character, the titular chief inspector Kurt Wallander (Krister Henriksson) as he investigates what seems to be a terrorist attack on his small seaside town.
The Revenge begins with Kurt Wallander celebrating his 62nd birthday, having achieved his lifelong dream of purchasing a house by the sea. Suddenly, a heavy explosion disrupts the peace and quiet in Ystad, knocking out the town’s lone power transformer. When more explosions follow, the military is called in and the little town starts to look like a war zone. Are the explosions acts of sabotage? Or terrorism directed at a local Islamic exhibition? Everything is in chaos as Wallander navigates through the darkness to track down the culprits.
"One of the year's best and most provocative thrillers... It's another in a series of first-rate crime dramas from Scandinavia." – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Here is one of the year's best and most provocative thrillers and maybe it says something that it's a 91-minute installment of a Swedish TV series. Why see it at the movies?
